Flossing band with exercise for chronic ankle instability
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment that uses a special band (flossing band) around the ankle combined with exercises to improve balance and function in people with chronic ankle instability. It aims to see if this approach helps reduce the feeling of giving way and improves mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new ankle training program for people with chronic ankle instability who are physically active. It aims to improve ankle function and reduce the risk of future injuries.
This study tests whether special core exercises or mental training can help improve your balance and control after repeated ankle sprains. If you have chronic ankle instability, this could help you find which type of training works best.
This trial tests whether kinesiology tape (a special elastic tape) applied around the ankle helps improve the way the lower leg moves and how well you function during sports, specifically for female athletes who have had long-term ankle instability. If you join, you'll get taped and have your movements measured.
This study compares three different exercise programs to strengthen your ankle and improve stability. If you have a history of ankle sprains with ongoing instability problems, this trial tests which type of strengthening works best to prevent future injuries and improve your ability to do sports.
This study tests a lower-leg exercise program designed to improve ankle stability in people with chronic ankle instability. If you have had multiple ankle sprains and a feeling of the ankle 'giving way,' this may help you regain strength and confidence in your ankle.
This study tests a special balance and movement training program on an uneven treadmill to improve ankle stability. It may help people whose ankles “give way” or keep getting sprained, but it requires specific timing after an ankle sprain and the ability to attend sessions for about 6 weeks.
